Chapter 467: Victory Comes Hard, Easy
From a distance, a large area of dark houses looks disorganized, with the occasional scattered lights from somewhere, adding to the eerie atmosphere. This is the Black Stone Collection, although the Black Stone Market is quite wealthy, but the poor town planning has made the construction of the Black Stone Market east and west, there are not many reasonable surnames, and the streets and alleys are intricate, which is very inconsistent with the status of the second largest town in this Lulong Province.
Cao Chongyue stood expressionlessly only half a mile away from the market town, silently staring ahead, waiting for the time for the general attack. After more than an hour of movement, the 3rd Division was divided into several warheads, which surrounded the Blackstone Group from the outside of the Black Stone Group and surrounded the Black Stone Set on three sides.
The operation of the special service team was very effective, and many enemy patrol detachments were completely wiped out before they could react, and the operation went very smoothly.
Waiting is the hardest thing to endure, but Cao Chongyue doesn't think so, he feels that only this moment is the most enjoyable, this moment he can calm down and listen to the pulse of the upcoming war, which will cheer and cheer the soldiers on both sides.
A terrible sound of arrows skewed high into the silent dark night sky, and bloomed brilliant sparks in the night sky, signaling the official start of the raid, accompanied by a slight agitation, and the sound of suffocating huge footsteps sounded in three directions almost at the same time, it was not a sound that dozens or even hundreds of people could make, but the power brought by the parallel march of the ironclad warriors who were lined up and marched in unison to destroy the oath.
As soon as they entered the street area of the market town, some of the soldiers automatically split into small combat plan detachments and rushed forward, while the elite troops advancing along the main street were even more racing against time, and went straight to the town capital in the middle of Blackstone Town, where there was a huge square, which was not only the camp of the main leaders of the Taiping Army, but also the garrison of the main military forces. Trailing in were small groups of light infantry. Their task was to clear and sweep the areas where the main force passed and prevent fish from slipping through the net and causing harm to the main force.
At this time, most of the Taiping soldiers were still in their dreams, because they were celebrating the capture of Blackstone Town, and by the way, they bought people's hearts. The chief general gave his officers a day's vacation and issued a large amount of silver taels, and Blackstone Town is the most famous and prosperous town in Lulong Mansion, with many places and fireworks for women. I am afraid that it is not inferior to Lulongfu City, and the entry of the Taiping Army has not affected the business of these places in the slightest, but has worked hard to win over these new upstarts.
And where can these peasant officers, who lack self-control, withstand such provocation, and the lord will open his mouth, so that he will not enjoy himself to the fullest? Of course, these circumstances were all noted in the report after summarizing the success of the battle.
Like a torrent of steel that suddenly surged from three sides, one wave as high as another, it can be said that there was basically no decent organized resistance along the way, and most of them rushed out of the room with frightened faces, dressed in clothes and trousers, and before they could react, they disappeared in an instant under the whistling guns or spears. Occasionally, some unformed team was crushed by the onslaught of ferocity before it could be assembled.
In this way, the three attacking arrows reached the square in the center of the market town almost at the same time as lightning.
However, the young man, who was the commander of the Tianping Army, still reacted extremely keenly, and when the piercing arrow woke him up from the pile of women, he did not hesitate to push away the two bewitching women who were wrapped around him, and immediately turned over and got up.
"General, it's not good!" The soldiers rushed into the room with a crawl, and they no longer cared about any politeness.
At this time, the young man had no time to care about anything else, and his sharp gaze fell on the face of the soldier: "How is the situation?" ”
Seeing that the main general's expression was quite calm. The pro-soldier also regained a little composure: "General, it's not good, the enemy has come in, and we are not prepared at all." There was no way to organize resistance, and now the enemy had rushed into the town! ”
gasped, and while quickly getting dressed, he ordered the soldiers who were released to immediately notify their personal guards to assemble urgently, and to stand by in the playground outside the house gate. "From what direction? Find out which side of the army is on the other side? ”
"Mainly from the west, but it seems that there are traces of the enemy on both the north and the south, and it is not clear which side it is." The pro-soldier hurriedly replied.
Enemy spotted in all three directions? The young man's mind was quickly calculating, no matter where the enemy came from, but the purpose was very clear, it seemed that the enemy wanted to destroy himself in one fell swoop, and only then did he regret the decision he made yesterday, why would he agree to let the officers under him rest for a relaxing day?
Otherwise, he would not be so passive now, and he would not be able to organize effective resistance at all! But at this time, it was meaningless to think about these things, and the young man's face moved slightly, "You go and inform immediately, order the pro-guard army to retreat to the east first, and now all the troops stationed in the battalion immediately organize resistance on the spot and fight to the end!" ”
"General?!" The soldiers looked at him in surprise.
He repeated with a cold face and expressionlessness: "Execute the order!" "It's a trap and you can only jump down first, but fortunately, I still have a hand, and the elite guards in charge are not on vacation, and with these 3,000 people to rely on, there should still be a glimmer of hope.
Don't think about it anymore, look at the two women with frightened faces who are still lying on the bed with nostalgia, as if they are still reminiscing about the pleasure of last night, but the indescribable complex look is fleeting, and immediately a cold light appears in the eyes, and the two girls seem to have noticed something, and they can't care about the spring light of the whole body, and they even crawl out, just want to say something, the young man's body turned, turned away, an accurate gesture, two pro-soldiers had already pounced in a burst of knives, and before they could shout, the two women were chopped into mashed meat.
Taking advantage of the cover of the night, the young man flew out of the door, and the three thousand guards outside the door completed the assembly and waited for the order in a short period of ten minutes.
When Cao Chongyue's several troops successfully wiped out the remnants of the recalcitrant Taiping army in the square in the center of the Black Stone Market and completed the reunion, Cao Chongyue knew that the main general of the Taiping army had already disappeared half an hour ago, and the inseparable 3,000 guards around him were also gone, obviously leaving the battlefield in advance.
Such a calm mind, a keen sense of smell and a quick adaptability made Cao Chongyue feel sorry for him but also had some admiration, and also had doubts about whether the ambush he deployed in the east could work.
But how could such a shrewd general make such a major mistake, so that his side could easily break through the enemy's warning circle and catch a turtle in an urn, such a low-level mistake could not happen to a person with such a performance! This puzzled him. (To be continued.) )
